It gives me goosebumps to meet people from other places who share the impact of what happened -- what it means -- because it really is like, I don't know if magic would be the word but it is so huge, there is so much emotion. If someone had told me a while back "Your future is this" I would not have believed it because all of us in the assembly are just neighbors -- students, teachers, housewives, and workers."

Marina believes in the power of the imagination and that most all things are possible. As Lewis Carroll reminds us in Through the Looking Glass:
“Alice laughed. 'There’s no use trying,’ she said 'one ca’n’t believe impossible things.’
'I daresay you haven’t had much practice,’ said the Queen. 'When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.'”
